Post Lockdown swim Advice
In response to the news that we are allowed to go open water swimming, we thought we would share the following: Firstly, if you have not done open water swimming before, now is not the time to start. However, if you wait a few more weeks, lifeguarded venues may well be open.
If you have open water experience and are thinking about getting back in the water, here are our top 10 post lockdown safety reminders:
1. Never swim alone. Keep to the 2 metre rule.
2. Try to have someone there who can keep an eye on you from the land (ensure they have a fully charged, working mobile phone-with signal !)
3. Remember you will not be acclimatised to cold water, so consider wearing a wetsuit that fits well and you have used before.
4. Try not to swim on cold and windy days; to avoid rough conditions, windchill and possible hypothermia.
5. Only swim for a short period (know your limits).
6. Wrap up well with warm clothing, including woolly hat and gloves. Bring extra layers for post swim, even on a warm day. Make sure you have water, warm drink and something energising to eat for afterwards.
7. Plan your entry and exit points carefully - avoid slippery and / or steeply shelving entry and exit points.
8. Never jump or dive into the water.
9. Swim with a tow float.
10. Only swim in the sea if you know and understand the tides and have fully checked local tides and weather conditions.Try not to swim out of your depth and swim parallel to the shore.
Please don’t take this as a recommendation to go open water swimming. It is just some helpful reminders for when you do.
